Yamagata Castle, also known as Kajo Castle, is a historic Japanese castle located in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture. Constructed in the early 15th century by Mogami Yoshiaki, it served as the administrative and military center for the Mogami clan during the Sengoku period. The castle complex, which includes a moat and stone walls, is now part of Kajo Park, where visitors can explore reconstructed gates, walls, and enjoy seasonal cherry blossoms.
